Tsingtao is the only chinese beer i've drunk - It's not worth searching out in the West by any means but it wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would taste. Still 'odd' but I couldn't put my finger on why it was.
Go for the better quality wine kits - they have more grape juice, require no sugar to be added and only need to be topped up minimal water. Much better tasting than the cheaper versions. They cost more but are worth it.
My AG Gear has arrived today!
18.5 US Gallon S/S Mash/Sparge Pot fitted with a Blichmann BrewMometer and tap, Standard picnic cooler and a 13 US Gallon S/S Boiling pot with hop strainer and tap.
I just need to get an extra propane bottle and choose what recipe to try first!
I haven't had...
Carrot wine needs a fair amount of aging from what I've read. My 1 UK Gal batch of 'Quelle horreur' is still clearing. Thanks for the reminder - I need to rack/bottle a load of wine to clear some space for the summer! :)
Mine took 10 min today to cool a 3 gallon boil.
They work great if you monitor the 'outflow' for heat. If it's cold it's not working - gently moving the immersion chiller sideways to another area of the pot can help with getting heat out.
Don't add heat to apple juice - it can set pectin as described and it certainly doesn't help with flavours. Follow Yooper Chick's advise and chop and mash the chinese apple pears and use them in primary.
